On 11 February, Hamburg citizens were invited to participate in a panel
discussion and workshop about sustainable consumption and responsibility and
develop proposals to put forward for discussion at European level.

To have meaningful citizen’s participation and co-creation of local policies,
chose to engage with conflict, “cherish your angry citizens” said professor
Wouter Van Dooren in a public lecture in Ostend last week, in front of our WG
creative citizenship.

Citizens’ needs are changing and cities must adapt and reassess priorities for
the greater good. A new booklet of case studies, published as part of the ROCK
EU project, shows how five cities have invented new governance models that are
helping them become more creative and sustainable places to live.
